A comic script is basically a love letter from you to your artist.

We're not trying to be deliberately frustrating, but we are laying the tracks for a mystery, and it's one that we have all figured out. We wanted this to be kind of like the way that Cliff [Chang] and I felt about the Cold War in the '80s when we were 12.

I love that the book [Paper Girls ] gets to kind of evolve and change in each era. Our third storyline is our best so far.

I'm still digesting the '90s. It takes some time to get perspective.

Brubaker and Phillipss books have always been about eight years ahead of their time.

I'm just grateful to finally be telling a story with all females at the lead.

I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.
